Weather caused 80% of major power outages from 2000 to 2023 and extreme storms continue to increase in frequency. To improve grid reliability and resiliency, we need more energy storage. Batteries have the power to change how and when we use our energy. They not only keep the lights on during grid disruptions but also provide significant cost-savings and enable users to store excess energy to be used at a later time, putting less stress on the grid during peak times. At Ameresco, we’ve launched several battery storage projects this year including projects with United Power, Inc. in CO, the Cellarhead project in the UK with Envision Energy, and at Fort Detrick, MD with the US Army — and the industry is just getting started. https://hubs.ly/Q02ZJf1y0 #BatteryStorage #ResilientGrid #ExtremeWeather #BESS

Cold hands and warms hearts! Our team from HQ helped pack bags for United Way of Tri-County's annual Feed-a-Family event to provide families in need with a full dinner including a turkey and all the fixings that can be prepared from the comfort of home. The team packed enough turkeys and pies to feed over 500 local families. At Ameresco, C.A.R.I.N.G. for Our Communities is part of our core values all year round, but it is especially meaningful during this season of gratitude. Join us and get involved in your community this holiday season.

A great resource from Canary Media Inc. about going solar for the K12 market! Implementing solar energy at K12 schools also provide educational opportunities for students to learn about renewable energy and sustainability. Whether PPA, ESPC, design-build, or anything in between, Ameresco has helped hundreds of school districts implement energy projects – including renewable measures like solar – over the past 20+ years.?

C.A.R.I.N.G. for Our Communities is a core part of the Ameresco culture. All year round, we find ways to support the communities in which we live and work, as well as those in need across the globe. Over the past month, we participated in two companywide initiatives. We held a Socktober collection event to support local families as socks are one of the most needed items in shelters. We also collected for Treats for Troops, an annual event at Ameresco through the Soldiers' Angels organization, to collect and send Halloween candy to deployed service members and veterans. Our HQ in Framingham collected nearly 55 pounds of candy this year. Thank you to those who participated in these collections. Together, we can all make a difference. #CARINGforOurCommunities #ONEAmeresco #giveback #doingwellbydoinggood

Empowering the next generation of innovators... Our UK team recently led an engaging career day for engineering students from the Queen Mary University of London to share valuable experience and insights about their professional journeys. The day included a presentation about our solar project at the London Stadium and featured an exclusive tour of the iconic venue and its rooftop, where we are implementing a photovoltaic solution designed to generate nearly 1,000 MWh of clean energy annually. https://hubs.ly/Q02YYvP70 Energizing a sustainable future extends beyond the projects we deliver for our customers. We are committed to educating the next generation about the various career paths that contribute to the clean energy transition. #energycareers #EmpoweredFutures #cleanenergyleaders #innovation

The International Energy Agency (IEA)’s latest report highlights exciting growth in global energy sector jobs, which rose by 3.8% in 2023—adding 2.5 million new roles worldwide and outpacing broader economic trends. A $200 billion increase in #cleantech manufacturing investment powered this surge, with #solar PV leading the charge, adding over 500,000 jobs, while electric vehicle and battery production created 410,000 roles. In emerging markets, which represent 60% of the global labor force but have seen only 25% of clean energy job growth, we’re working to make an impact. Through meaningful projects like the Kūpono Solar venture in Hawaii and Republic Services' Keller Canyon landfill gas-to-energy plant in California, we’re not only delivering clean energy but also creating sustainable jobs and supporting local economies. By investing in #workforce development and skills training, Ameresco is working to bridge the talent gap and advance a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
